Despite being considered one of Britain's fashion icons, it seems Sienna Miller isn't a fan of the her home nation's style.

Describing English fashion as 'scruffy', the 31-year-old spoke out about how she considers French fashion to be in a 'different league' to her fellow countrymen.

The actress - who is the face of chic French brand Caroll - says she prefers the way women dress on the other side of the Channel, adding that their 'classic, timeless' look is much more flattering than London girls' mismatched clothes.

It is easy to see why Sienna is considered a British fashion icon as she attended the Vanity Fair party for the TriBeCa Film Festival on Tuesday in a chic black floral dress teamed with a red bag for a pop of colour

Asked what she thinks of French style in an interview with newspaper supplement Madame Figaro, she replied: 'So chic, so timeless... You French are in a different league in terms of elegance. Also, you're naturally slim.

'English girls are so much scruffier, especially in London where people really wear absolutely anything, in any old way.

'French girls manage to look desirable even when they're not making an effort.'
